Joseph David-Jones and Khailah Johnson Join the 4400 Reboot
Back in February, The CW ordered a reboot of The 4400. Now the series has a new name and it has also cast the first two performers. Via Variety, Joseph David-Jones and Khaliah Johnson have joined the cast of 4400.
According to Variety, David-Jonesâ character is Rev Johnson. Revâs character description notes that he âwas raised in a powerful and affluent church family, and disappeared in the 1990s. While he is a man of true faith and compassion, he is accustomed to the power and clout afforded his position. He will emerge as a natural leader among the 4400.â
Johnson is portraying LaDonna, âa high maintenance Miami party girl who disappeared on her 21st birthday.â Her character bio also notes that âwhile she at first comes across as spoiled and vapid, she will end up tapping into her own potential in ways she never expected.â
